Hi Domenico,

The Dremel and Proxxon are good tools, but way too underpowered for
cutting harpsichord mouldings. As Richard and Michael have mentioned,
get a proper high power router. Router tables are nowadays cheaply had
at the hardware chain stores. You are unlikely to find the moulding
profiles used in 17-18c instruments in current cutter catalogs (let us
know if you do!), but a custom made cutter or two is the answer.

Andrew
